  1. Every year and mintmark are known to have these varieties. Except the 1931-s lincoln cent now that I think about it. LOL (US coins being referenced here again. The number I was refering to was the Coneca #, but breen's isn't too bad, except that he lumped too much into small generalized paragraphs.

     

    Also, it appears that the quarter is either low grade and or it has been cleaned. Which makes the diagnosis that much harder. Your microphotography wouldn't be by a QRX-4 or whatever those intel microscopes are called. LOL The reason I don't like them is that the light is flooded straight onto the coin. If I used one of those to take my pics, I would turn off the scopes light scource and acquire a secondary light scource (such as an adjustable armed lamp or the like). That way you can angle the lamp to emphasize shadows etc. Which would help greatly, IMO.

     

    Still at freakin work. :ninja: LOL

     

    Yes, it is a QX5 toy microscope, and I agree about the lighting. Just haven't bought the alternate light source yet. Was thinking about a fiberoptic light. What do you think?

    The quarter is pretty worn. Thanks all for the opinions.

  2. 1950_quarter__60X_.jpg

    This appears to be a S/S North northeast. I don't know the exact # at the moment (at work and not near any of my books). But that looks like an RPM and not a OMM. If I can locate it I have a D/S or S/D 1950 quarter that I might be able to shoot and get posted here.

     

    Good luck, and keep searchin',

    Thank you, I would appreciate the photo. Here is a 60X pic., I think something is going on with the S, but just not familiar enough with errors/varieties.

  3. Seems like my penny collection has expanded to just about everything. Right now I am trying to round up some commomenoratives. Also I am going to make a framed hanging wall display with larger copper, and silver coins with ships, so trying to find them.
